The Supreme Court Tuesday suggested that one should avoid reading newspapers early in the morning to get through the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to keep your day fresh, don\u2019t read newspapers for at least the early two hours of the day,\u201d the vacation bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice C.K. Prasad said.<\/p>\n
The observation came when advocate Ratnakar Dash, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government in an ongoing case, drew the attention of the court to a news report that Law and Justice Minister M.Veerappa Moily sought to blame judicial activism for boosting Maoism.<\/p>\n
Blaming \u201cunrealistic judicial activism\u201d as the main reason for increased Maoist activities, the minister said: \u201cIf the courts had exhibited restraint and gone according to ground realities in the forests, the situation would have been totally different today\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy concern is when judges admit PILs and deliver judgments, they should be realistic and go by the ground realities instead of believing on the arguments,\u201d he said, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Reacting to Moily\u2019s statement, Justice Singhvi said: \u201cWe have stopped reading newspapers.\u201d Dash said that he was piqued over the law minister\u2019s statement and could not restrain himself in raising it before the court.<\/p>\n
At this, Justice Singhvi said, \u201cWe are not affected by extraneous factors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStill better, we will not reply,\u201d he added, before the court proceeded with the hearing of the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
